What an appalling, horrible little hotel. I guess you get what you pay for. We were in Lakewood for a funeral and our first two choices for hotels were booked due to weddings and a music festival nearby. We booked 2 rooms at the Best Western, one for ourselves, the second for our children who were arriving a day after... More

Wish we had 1/2 stars because I really have a hard time making it a full 3 stars! The only reason it wasn't 2 is that the hotel really tried to compensate for the bad experience, but some things money just doesn't correct! We had a king non smoking room (thanks to Carlos honoring my "special request' at the time... More

Really a motel, not a hotel. I would never, ever stay here again! Smelled of strong cigarette smoke! Very small beds! Bedding linens were horrible and pillows were uncomfortable. Outdated! Some other people staying there in our party saw bugs in their rooms and left. No elevator, so you must carry your luggage up to the second floor. Our room... More

We stayed here for a wedding. I was a little nervous after reading all these negative reviews, but all the other wedding guests were staying here and the hotel is right next door to the reception. It wasn't as bad as I expected, especially for the price (under $100/night). Check-in for us was smooth and we got a 2nd floor,... More

I worked in the hotel/restaurant business for 12 years and fully understand, you are not going to please everybody. If you need a room for a night because you are in the area, then this place is fine. It is convenient to the Parkway and has plenty of stores & restaurants 10 minutes down the road in either direction. My... More

I would like to apologize but unfortunately this is not a smoke-free facility. We do our best to try to eradicate the smell of cigarette smoke. Again we are very sorry that your stay was uncomfortable. Thank You More

Dear Mr. A , We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay at our hotel. However I can assure you ours is an extremely safe facility. Between our security company and camera equipment located throughout the hotel as well as key controlled entry doors these elements make for a very secure and safe facility. Thank You More

Location OK for our needs ( funeral) at the time;however, it is the worst Best Western I have stayed in. I am a member and am so disappointed in this place. Old and worn and very unappealing. Could only get 1 handtowel and other towels and washcloths of poor quality also. It is very hard for the maids to clean... More

We stayed here over the weekend in order to attend a wedding in town. The hotel was very basic and could have easily been a motel. First thing we noticed when we tried to get to our room was there was no elevator. So my husband had to lug out large suitcase up the stairs. Good thing there were only... More

Stayed for a two night weekend. I usually stay at the Hilton Garden Inn up the street, but they were totally booked. The room was very clean, the bed was comfortable and there was a microwave and fridge in the room. I was concerned because the common areas smelled of smoke, but you could not smell it in the room...

A) Low Maintenance: My room had a broken toilet (so you slide into the lower level of the toilet when you sit down), the sink faucet had a gerrymanders screw and washer on top that still spun free, so there was no reliable way to select hot or cold water, and the stem for operating the plug in the sink...
